List of possible internal socket statuses from /proc

I would like to know the possible values of st column in /proc/net/tcp. I think the st column equates to STATE column from netstat(8) or ss(8).

I have managed to identify three codes:

sl  local_address rem_address   st tx_queue rx_queue tr tm->when retrnsmt   uid  timeout inode

1: 00000000:006F 00000000:0000 0A 00000000:00000000 00:00000000 00000000     0        0 6656 1 ffff81003a30c080 3000 0 0 2 -1

5: 0100007F:089F 00000000:0000 0A 00000000:00000000 00:00000000 00000000     0        0 7339 1 ffff81002f449340 3000 0 0 2 -1           
6: 0100007F:E753 0100007F:0016 01 00000000:00000000 02:000AFA92 00000000   500        0 18198 2 ffff81002f448080 204 40 20 2 -1                   
7: 0100007F:E752 0100007F:0016 06 00000000:00000000 03:000005EC 00000000     0        0 0 2 ffff81000805dc00

The above shows:

On line sl 0: a listening port on tcp/2208. st = 0A = LISTEN
On line sl 6: An established session on tcp/22. st = 01 = ESTABLISHED
On line sl 7: An socket in TIME_WAIT state after ssh logout. No inode. st = 06 = TIME_WAIT

Can anyone expand on this list? The proc(5) manpage is quite terse on the subject stating:

List of possible internal socket statuses from /proc
